Can anyone post what kernal they're using for RC3.1? I'm trying to upgrade from RC2.11 using glitch kernal that was recommended for RC 2.11 but I get a failed flash error every time I try to flash the rom. I tried nushors 3125 and a few others of nushors and still nothing.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
I was on Nushor's 3189 when I upgraded (before the captivate was released) kept using 3189 until official captivate was released. Now using the platypus kernel that came with.
[Captivate Android Development] Rabidaries:
I keep getting installing update assert failed error everytime I flashed and tried different kernals and followed others who had the same error and still is a no go. Oh well. RC 3.1 will just have to elude me for now lol
[Captivate Android Development] know8677:
I'm giving up on RC3.1. I've gotten it installed 4 different times and there's always something not working. The first time I got past the installation aborted junk, process.android and gmail kept closing. Installed new kernel and home button quit working and there was no lock screen. Latest times, I don't have a cell signal. I'm going to try to go back to 2.11 next.
[Captivate Android Development] flintdragon:
I had the datafix applied while on 2.11 but have upgraded to 3.1 (flashed on top, no reset). Is the fix still active?
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
I don't think it is since the new rom should reinstall the sym link. Then again if you get the msg again just try the data fixer once again.
[Captivate Android Development] rmriggin:
I edited the update-script to remove the assert lines that cause the install issues. I was able to flash without issues after doing that. I will post a multiupload link to the the same rom package but with the update script edited so it wont give an assert fail. Mods please remove the link if it is not ok for me to post it.

On a separate note after I flash the rom I install the data fix and then the latest glitch kernel for ICS. Been running great so far.
[Captivate Android Development] wisepage:
Which kernel of Nushors did you flash?

That's exactly what I did and it worked for me.

Well, initially, when I flashed I got stuck in a boot loop. But after a battery pull and booting into recovery using 3 button, I could flash 3.1 then.
[Captivate Android Development] Rabidaries:
This is magic and did the trick. Tons of thanks! I had flashed several of nushors kernals that I read ppl had used and working and none of them would work. Preash!

Hey guys,

I am getting a problem, people might get annoyed but i have searched and tried everything to the best of my ability. When installing RC3 ICS rom, in recovery i get an error related to assert error.................. and then a long error. I tried the data fix .zip but i am still getting the same error.

Current rom right is CM7 with the last nightly that was released back in november. The last official one.

Any help is much appreciated

Cheers,

Devilzblood
[Captivate Android Development] Rabidaries:
Do we yet know yet a fix for the lock screen sometimes not responding to touch unless the screen gets locked then unlocked again or the ghost image after the crt animation? Just curious if I missed something.

Devil blood, look at the top of this page. There's a fix in the download link provided.....

Hey

i saw this post but i personally don't have much experience with Kernel flashing but my friend has had bad experiences, and for that kernal there are too files, which one do i need to flash?

There are two 3189 kernals

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] wisepage:
From that post I am not sure as I didn't use that method. I believe the post at the top of this page has an edited version of the ROM itself, not just the kernel.

I used Nushors latest kernel which allowed me to flash RC3.1. Now I use the kernel that came with the ROM (Platypus).

Flashing kernels is really quite easy.

1. Place kernel on SD (like you would with the ROM).

2. Boot into recovery.

3. Flash kernel zip from SD card.

4. Reboot.

That's what I did anyway. Worked for me.
[Captivate Android Development] bavarianblessed:
This needs to be mentioned in the first post. I've been searching this thread for 3 hours trying to find a way to flash this damn thing. Kudos to you rmriggin! :)
[Captivate Android Development] devillblood:
It seems that i missed the last part of the original post where you quoted the post with link to the file. Do you know if i try flashing that, will it work fine? What i am thinking right now is that if for some reason kernal does mess up. with the restoring from the backup i have done fix it? sorry for the n00b question
[Captivate Android Development] wisepage:
Certainly worth a shot. Judging by the posts so far, it's been working well.

Is anyone having a problem buying any apps via the market on this rom? Can d/l free apps no prob. My Google acct and card are OK. Works fine on other phones and on this phone but diff rom . When I'm in a PAID app and click on the $x.xx cost button it gets an unknown error as its showing the page that has the final "Accept and Download" button and shuts down. I've tried everything I can. Is this an issue at all? Any thoughts ideas to fix? Or am I stuck having to do work around? Like buy on other device or pc and download on phone...fyi the apps I had previously purchased were able to download onto this rom no prob. I'm stumped and this is pretty major for me..

Any help on this would be great.

Thanks

[Captivate Android Development] devillblood:
Downloading the file as i write this, from the procedure. I am doing the following correct?

- the flashing this rom from recovery

- then wipe data/factory reset, wipe dk cache

- reboot again into recovery

- flash the rom again

Is this right? Thanks a lot since the steps i am clear about but it didn't say that i need to flash the roms again since when i do the wipe, i will lose the rom

Cheers
[Captivate Android Development] wisepage:
Exactly the steps I followed. Hopefully what worked for me works for you.

[Captivate Android Development] devillblood:
just flashed the rom, its running slow but it flashed fine, now going to reboot into recovery, wipe everything than flash rom again

Mine was slow after the first flash. Really glad I did it a 2nd time, been brilliant since then.

Here is an interesting problem. Everything was working great (3.1) and then suddenly none of the Google apps would work anymore. The Gmail stopped receiving and sending emails. Google Talk tries forever to sign me in and then fails (without error message). Calendar not synched etc. This is the second time this has happened to me with this ROM (the first time my Touchdown exchange lost all communication as well). I have data access and can browse both over WiFi and Cellular. Any ideas? Its not that I'm opposed to a clean wipe and flash, but I cant figure out what is breaking it and want to make sure it doesn't happen again. Thanks...

And out of nowhere my Cappy is rebooting itself. 3 in a row, with a battery pull after the 2nd one. It boots, right up to the homescreen then shortly after will reboot back to the platypus screen.

This doesn't look good.

:confused:

Edit; Just turned it off for a while, pulled battery. Left it for a while. Reinserted battery. Charged phone for a while to give it a bit of a top up. Tried to turn on again. Boots up again, within 30 seconds of it reaching the homescreen it reboots again. REbooted into recovery. Wiped cache partition. Hit reboot. Rebooted to homescreen, then eventually rebooted again... back to recovery!

Weird! It's almost like it's reissuing my last command every time it boots.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Both kernels OC. Platypus has Live OC (OC the FSB). Older Nushor's kernels won't have working video recording.

More Crazy RC3 Issues

I'll try to keep this short.

Setup: SGSICS 2.11, Nurshors Kernel 3183, I9000 BL's, No OC or UV, no REAL issues.

Flashed RC3.1 with no factory reset. (as people had before me with good results)

Everything was great for about 2 days. Was playing game, turned screen off, when I came back the screen would not respond (wake up) black screen. Soft keys would light up though. Pulled battery (restart) after Platypus splash, same thing. I was able to still get into CWM and clear cache, dalvik, (restart) same thing, flashed RC3.1 ROM again, same thing.

Phone seemed to be soft bricked

.

No big deal. ODIN back to Stock I9000 2.3.3 with boot loaders. Everything is back, however now Gingerbread (meh :(). So I flash another kernel and root.

Get into CWM and flash RC3.1 same DAMM problem. Black screen, only soft keys respond.

WTF!

Flashed RC2.11 and Nurshors Kernel and phone is back up. Kinda tired of flashing at the moment. Feel like flashing back to RC3.1 may give me the same results.

I haven't seen any post with this issue on this ROM yet.

Any ideas what happened? What caused this behavior?

Anyway, sticking with RC2.11 for now........

Has anybody tried Platypus Kernel with RC2.11? I liked it better than Nurshors, more things worked for me aside from the unexplained "soft brick".
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Maybe the default uv Onecosmic set up messing with you?
[Captivate Android Development] Phaze13:
So the RC3.1 Platypus kernel is setup by default with UV?

I usually never mess with OC/UV, so I don't have much of a clue about it.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Yup
[Captivate Android Development] aaa710:
I guess the OP should state....not flashing 3.1 over stock GB. I assumed using a clean slate would give better results....as I guess was the case until 2.11 but is not the case with 3.11

Anyone been successful flashing over stock GB?
[Captivate Android Development] martyh1:
Well I tried one more time to install ICS. My issue is no 3G signal. My APN settings are blank (no entries). I tried creating an APN settings entry using settings for ATT found on the internet, but the settings are never saved even after I select save. I googled this issue and found that maybe I must unlock the SIM first. I tried that and cannot find a PIN that works for unlocking. Looks like I might be reflashing back to 2.3.5 once again.
[Captivate Android Development] wisepage:
Does anyone use and CPU/voltage tools with this ROM? If so, what settings would you recommend?
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Remember each phone is different.

My phone doesn't like live oc. UV still needs tweaking so:

Thanks for that, might give that a try. You find those settings a good combination of performance and battery life?

Happens for me too.

Weird thing is I did a factory reset this morning to resolve some issues, and prior to that reset I had Facebook syncing and was receiving notifications no problems (well, as reliably as I have ever got FB notifications, which is not very).
[Captivate Android Development] Demonic240:
Do this if you're coming from stock GB.

1. Flash latest cm7 stable.

2. Flash nushor kernel (doesn't matter which one)

3. Flash 3.1

4. Profit

Thanks Dev team

Big thanks to the DEV team < Salute >

RC 3.1 is best ROM release soo far. I am following this thread religiously everyday and I have tried all the alphas, betas and RCs, this release has been the best of all. Everything work, lot smoother and I have decided not to buy any new phone, because I am happy with captivated ice cream sandwich.

How I installed this ROM

1.	Was running on Stock KK4 for a while

2.	Installed CWM recovery

3.	Installed RC3.1 without factory reset, reboot – Failed instantly with some error message

4.	Installed RC2.11 without factory reset, wiped data and cache, reboot – Stuck in boot animation

5.	Installed RC3.1, wiped data and cache, reboot – Stuck in boot animation

6.	While I was stuck in boot animation after installing RC3.1 second time, I tried playing with hardware power button, volume scrolls frequently, I finally got the initial set-up wizard.

I don’t know playing with power button with on and off (like locking the phone) would help people who are stuck in boot animation. But doesn’t cost anything trying. Huh !

*Tried this trick when boot animation was stuck for 5 mins ;)

Big thanks to Dev team again.

That was just one of the many problems I had after trying to get to RC3.

I'm going to miss ICS - been using it for a month, but obviously there are some glitches out there for some people to get to RC3 and I'm going to skick with GB for awhile. I took my phone back to stock several times and flashed RC3 various ways many times, but it either aborted the install, had the home button not work, had android and gmail processes continually stopping, random re-boots, no cell signal, etc.

For the month I was using it with RC1 and RC2, I loved it. RC2 was the best my phone ever performed in terms of battery life (although it seemed pretty dicey to flash that one as well, and that's why I'm not going back to it), I know the developers put in lots of time and I am very thankful for their work. Hopefully, the flashing can get smoothed out in future releases and maybe I'll venture back.
[Captivate Android Development] aaa710:
Checkout Demonic's response for flashing from Stock GB. and for the Cell signal you might need to flash the JVT modem again.
[Captivate Android Development] know8677:
The problem is I never got it to work properly even when I wasn't coming from stock.

After many, many hours of flashing and reflashing, I'm ready to take a break for a bit.

And it didn't seem like the modem was the problem. I had NO signal whatsoever anywhere. Also, the option to force the phone to the E network was greyed out.

Fair enough....but how long can one stay away from this sweet ROM... :-)

I am not a pro at flashing...and though I did not go down demonic's suggested path and had to flash and reflash...but I had problem with signals/network and also my imei was also screwed and actually flashing the modem helped....

Hey does anyone know if flashing a different kernal will do anything about the lock screen that 'sticks' at times or the ghost image after the crt off animation?
[Captivate Android Development] nemesishaven:
Bootloaders?

A lot of people seem to be having trouble flashing--and have had trouble flashing different RCs, too. I know that 'every captivate's different', but no one's talking about bootloaders, or they're assumed not to be a factor.

I've got froyo i897 bootloaders, because I came from CM7, and the CM7 instructions claimed that it didn't like more recent bootloaders. I've never had any trouble flashing (3.1 was a breeze!)
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:

Ditto only issues were when I tried to cheat....flashing without wiping data. Once I wiped everything was kosher

[Captivate Android Development] martyh1:
Well, I finally got it working (got my 3g signal) but don't know how. Honestly, after 3-4 flashes using the same procedure, it just started working. The APN settings that "magically" appeared are only slightly different than the ones I found on the internet and there's a hidden password so I have no idea what that password is (in case I ever wanted to enter those APN settings manually). And I have serious doubts I can do a smooth, working flash of this ICS ROM if I have to do it again (so I'll be keeping this one as long as everything is working well enough).

Everything seems to be working well. Battery life might be a little worse for me but time will tell. I do miss two apps: 1) the built-in Samsung music player, and 2) the Samsung built-in clock for alarms. The snooze stuff on the clock (slow volume increase using default soothing sound) was nice. I'm trying different music players but hopefully can stick with PowerAMP. Also, the camera appears to be weaker than the Samsung camera app. The camera will crash when changing the "Picture size" setting.

RC3.1 has been working really great for me so far, with the exception of battery life and the Gallery isn't working.

But it seems to me it runs way way better than pre-CM9 build 14.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
There isn't a alternative kernel. Nushor's older fugu kernels will have broken video recording. Almost sure glitch kernel will have same results, I haven't tried glitch on 3.1. Glitch isn't made for this rom it just works with it.

Gallery works fine for me. All my picasa albums load without a hitch.

Also, on the battery life... I am seeing a HUGE improvement on this version over the previous one.

I went from 10% drain/hour to 4-5%/hour. It took a few cycles before I got there though. I used to be able to squize out 8-9 hours if I am lucky to 16 hours yesterday with 26% left. It was a light usage day but still...

And I have not done anything special to get that either. I just made sure that the first few charge cycles were 0% - 100% - 0%.
